Hello New Zealand, first stop, Auckland, nice port, busy people, business capital... a Big little city... nothing else and nothing more :)
Day trip to Rangitoto island, Auckland,
Rangitoto was formed through violent eruptions about 600 years ago.
National bird, proud of his volcanic island :)
Seagulls looking for the daily donations!
Rangitoto's volcanic ground, nice and smooth...
Auckland's tower and an atypical Christmas 'Mercedes-Benz' promotion??
Welcome to
Thames, a small town situated on the South West coast of the Coromandel Peninsula (North Island). The first contact with New Zealand's architecture, and the super modern buildings and roads...
With our lovely Coach Surfing host, Mel, who took us on a day trip through the beautiful Coromandel lands. As we got a bit lost on the way we found this great road bar and we tried a nice Kiwi ale as we enjoyed the views and the sun, while deciding where to go next.
One very common scene in the Kiwi slopes!
Cascade, fern flower and Twin Kauri trees.
The kauri tree is a variety of pine, found in the northern parts of North Island in New Zealand. It is a wide, fat tree that nevertheless grows up to 50 meters!
Different views of Cathedral Cove, a beautiful place with very cold waters! :)
Many of the scenes of the film Narnia were shot here!. The scene where the Pevensies return to the ruined Cair Paravel was shot at Cathedral Cove. The filmmakers chose the location because it had a tunnel-like arch, which echoed the train tunnel the children go into before being summoned back into Narnia.
A very odd case!. In return for their super welcome we wanted to cook a famous tortilla de patatas to Mel and Dave. (ok, not as good as your just yet mum!) and anyway!, egg after egg we got to discover the full 6 pack box full of twins....What are they feeding those chicken with?? :O
Enjoying a wonderful night, with lovely Mel and Dave, Thanks again for a great time guys! :)
Mel holding the big Jinx! Poor thing is on a diet and is been told to catch his food if he wants an extra portion! (but we think he can't be bothered... )
